Our Journey: From Experiential Learning to Team Focus Plus
At Team Focus Plus, we believe great teams don’t just happen—they’re built through accountability, trust, and strong leadership.
Our story began in 1988 as Corporate Outdoor Activities. Back then, we specialised in experiential learning programs that placed teams in real-world challenges to test collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership under pressure. These weren’t just games—they were powerful experiences that revealed how teams behave when the stakes are high.
From day one, we weren’t presenters delivering theory—we were facilitators, guiding people through challenges, encouraging reflection, and helping them discover new ways to work together.
From COA Learning to Team Focus Plus
As organisations evolved, so did we. We became Team Focus International, moving from the outdoors to team development training workshops that blended:
Challenging exercises – pushing individuals and teams beyond comfort zones.
Practical leadership training – tools and strategies that could be applied immediately back in the workplace.
Sound theory – grounding every activity in proven organisational psychology and business concepts.
This balance of experience, insight, and practicality made our team building workshops in Australia unique. We’ve delivered programs for groups as small as 6 and as large as 1,000+, tailoring every session to meet the specific needs of the organisation.
Over time, we expanded into organisational culture workshops, customised leadership programs, and corporate leadership development in Sydney and beyond. What set us apart was our ability to combine:
Experiential challenges
Expert facilitation
Neuroscience and behavioural insights
Business-aligned strategies
Few providers offer such a comprehensive toolkit for building stronger teams and leaders.
The Next Chapter: Team Focus Plus
In 2022, we became Team Focus Plus. The new name reflects our mission: helping organisations improve accountability, productivity, leadership, and culture. The “Plus” is our commitment to continuous growth—there’s always more to learn, and always more we can deliver.
